Multi-vibrator

Multivibrators :- Individual Sequential Logic circuits can be used to build more complex circuits such as Multivibrators, Counters, Shift Registers, Latches and Memories. But for these types of circuits to operate in a “sequential” way, they require the addition of a clock pulse or timing signal to cause them to change their state. Clock pulses are generally continuous square or rectangular shaped waveform that is produced by a single pulse generator circuit such as a Multivibrator. A multivibrator circuit oscillates between a “HIGH” state and a “LOW” state producing a continuous output. Astable multivibrators generally have an even 50% duty cycle, that is that 50% of the cycle time the output is “HIGH” and the remaining 50% of the cycle time the output is “OFF”. In other words, the duty cycle for an astable timing pulse is 1:1. Sequential logic circuits that use the clock signal for synchronization are dependent upon the frequency and and clock pulse width to activate there ...
